Water fasting weight loss has its benefits as well as its
dangers. some people told about how he or she lost about 6 kilogram in just 5
days, this is true and can be happened. But if you don’t do water fasting in
the right way, you wouldn't lose weight and sorry to say that you will gain more weight.
In this article I will discuss with you how the water fasting for
weight loss is done in the right way, water fasting weight loss benefits and water fating to
lose weigh dangers.
Water fasting benefits:
In fact water fasting can help you to lose weight very fast. When
you fast for long time and take no foods only water, the body maintains the
calories needed from the stored fat after consuming all the stored sources of
energy like stored glycogen and undigested foods in the digestive tract. If you
fast for 5 days you can lose about half the stored fat.
Water fasting is not only for weight loss but also for
detoxification. Water fasting helps you body to purify the blood stream of the poisons
and cleans the body from harmful substances.
Water fasting dangers:
We all agree that water fasting is a very good diet to lose
weight. If you fast for 5 days and not eating any type of food but water, you
can lose about 4-6 kilo gram of your stored body fat. But what after 5 days. During the 5 days water fasting, the body enters the starvation mode and sends
message to the brain to store as much fat as possible when you end fasting, which may cause more
weight gaining.
The best water fasting weight loss plan:
In fact, there are two different methods to use water fasting for
weight loss:
The first is to fast for about 12 hours, not to eat or drink
water for 12 hours, and then you drink 2 cubs of water, waiting for about 1/4
hour and then take a light meal. You can do this for 2 weeks or even one month (As
we the Muslims do in Ramadan) and you will see a wonderful weight loss results.
The second method to use water to lose weight is to drink as much
water as possible (2 or 3 cubs of water) at the morning and before each meal. This
will increase you metabolism and make you fill full so you eat less. The advantage
of this method is that your body will not enter the starvation mode and you will not
feeling deprived as in the long period water fasting which I don’t recommend at all.
